similar to: PXELinux and Boot Disk Failure on Dell Optiplex 740

Hello all. Again I call upon the greats of this mailing list to help me with an issue related to MEMDISK - notably when paired with various Dell OptiPlex and Latitude systems. The issue presented itself sometime ago and I best dealt with it by remaining with version 3.83 of the SYSLINUX package. But valuing the improved changes fostered by newer versions, I would prefer to move forward with

Our site has many Dell OptiPlex 790s, all of which are unable to use the 'localboot' PXELINUX option as they either hang at 'Booting from local disk...' or immediately reboot depending on which SYSLINUX version is used. Many people have suggested using chain.c32 to chain load the local disk as a workaround, but this causes problems with Windows 7 BitLocker as it detects the chain

I've got an old Dell Optiplex (Pentium-II, 1998 Vintage) which is successfully running an X100P card. I'm hoping to upgrade to a TDM400. Has anybody tried running these cards in old Optiplex machines? I'm not particularly worried about horsepower - more about the motherboard having a PCI bus that's able to power up the card... -Ronan

Shantanu, let's continue here. You first noticed this on a Dell OptiPlex 755. I think it covers all Dell OptiPlex/Latitude/Precision models that are PCIe based with Intel LoM (LAN on motherboard) utilizing the BIOS PXE OROM, based on the similarity of these systems. The symptoms are that PXELINUX requests pxelinux.cfg/<UUID> by TFTP (but it might not strictly be a TFTP issue) when not

Hi, The CentOS 4.4 installation doesn't work on a Optiplex 745 because it doesn't support the sata controller. Is there a known work-around? (smaller prob: dvi video doesn't work at install time, vga only) If only we had CentOS 5 :-) Cheers, -- Henk van Lingen, Systems Administrator & DBA (o- -+ Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University.

Hi, I want to run a HVM domU. I have a Dell Optiplex 755: model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz I have enabled VT in BIOS settings under performance. However, after I boot into a linux kernel (not under Xen), grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo returns nothing.

Hello, I'm interrested in testing any possible workaroud for the Dell Optiplex GX620 keyboard problem, as I just can't downgrade the BIOS version on each and every Gx620 I have to (re)install ! (Plus I can't find a link to download the old A10 BIOS itself.) Don't hesitate to give me guidance on how to proceed, because I can't find anything relevant on the website

Hello All. I have a dell optiplex 320 that I can install centos5 on using pci=nomsi. That seems to be the only way. After the install grub loads but thats about as far as it gets. It looks like a BIOS bug to me, but I just don't know. I left it sit for a few minutes and it just had the echoed boot params on the screen. I've tried booting with noapic nolapic apm=off acpi=off and noprobe

Good morning, Dell has once again obsoleted out hardware and we're moving forward to the Optiplex 790 as a shipping platform with the integrated Intel graphics chip.? We're using CentOS 5.6 32 and 64-bit with a 2.6.18 kernel. What are my options for supporting the newest Intel graphics chipsets? -b

Hi List, I'm trying to install X-Lite in Dell Optiplex GX-280 but I'm experiencing sound problems. When I configure the Audio Tunning Wizard all seems fine, but whe I make a call the sound quality is the worst. The sound is very noisy, with very low volume and gaps without sounds. I've tried with 3 desktops CPU with the same result. The onboard sound device is a SoundMax Integrated

Same CD. Any Linux distribution without the 5.X series boots on this machine. We can use 4.06 and it boots just fine. It's not the computer's hardware. Like I said, we can take the CD out of the GX620 and place it in the 9010 and it boots. Put 4.06 on the CD, and they both boot.

Hi, I am havind deep trouble with a bunch of our newly arrived Optiplex 330 as it can't run Centos 5.2 property. The installation works fine, but when it boots up, it can't be connected to the network. I am getting error saying " link is not ready" when doing system-config-network. I check lspci and it can detect the network controller no problem. The light next to the cable

I have been using PXELINUX, with "LOCALBOOT 0" when wanting to boot from disk, for many years. Now on new Dell Optiplex 990 machines, PXE boot with "LOCALBOOT 0" hangs after message Booting from local disk... without the expected "Exiting PXE" message. I tried "LOCALBOOT -1" and some other values also, none seemed to work. I tested SYSLINUX 4.04.
